Empowering Educators with On-Demand Professional Development
KnowlEdge Academy provides convenient access to courses that support your Edgenuity implementation through self-paced professional learning. Courses incorporate best practices, including those defined by Andragogy adult learning theory. Learning is on-demand, self-directed, and builds on past experiences. It allows learners to define personalized, practical integration of their learning and provides opportunities for guided practice prior to application in the classroom.
KnowlEdge Academy’s professional learning options address common concerns administrators have with traditional product training:
- New and veteran educators can choose their training options to meet individualized needs and grow at their own pace.
- Asynchronous courses allow teachers to revisit instruction as needed and even learn through a flipped classroom model of blended learning.
- Newly hired staff, or those who missed the training session, can easily catch up as they complete courses on their own time.
- Schools can create a schedule of professional development to meet all educators’ needs and even supplement or extend Edgenuity PD offerings.
